21Sextury is a large network of sites that covers Solo, Lesbian, Hardcore, Anal, and DP scenes (softcore scenes being less common but still reasonably represented). The majority of the the models are young, natural looking Europeans.

Occasionally you'll see American pornstars, MILFS, etc. but the bulk of the content is young Europeans. All of the scenes are professionally shot, often in upscale settings and there's currently over 11 thousand of them. Each day 1-3 new scenes are added. Video lengths vary from 10-50mins. the average being ~27 mins. Frames per second can be 25, 29, or 50.

The 1080p videos are at 6000kbps and while not the very highest quality I've seen they look very good. I think they struck a reasonable balance between quality & file size. The avg. 1080p video is just over 1GB.

I'm not a big picture person but I think that the picture sets on this site are outstanding. They are well shot and available in higher resolution than is typical for this type of site. They can be viewed individually online but must be downloaded as a zip for max resolution. 2 zips are available, normal and hi-res. The hi-res sets (at least on the recent scenes) are 5760x3840 1.8MB pics and contain ~200 photos.

The design and technical aspects of the site are also excellent. The home page gives a good overview of the network, recent content, & useful info such as how many days are left in your membership. The top toolbar allows you to dive into specific areas such as Scenes, Websites, Models, Settings, Favorites, etc. The area I used most was Scenes. From here you can view all the scenes, across all the sites, of all the "21Networks".

As a member of only 21Sextury, having 21Sextury and the Bonus Content displayed made sense for me. But it's great that you can turn the other networks (21seXtreme & 21Naturals) on if you are curious to see what scenes are there. You'll only be able to view their trailer, but at least you can see what's there if you are curious.

Scenes are shown as large thumbnails in pages of 30. Hovering shows the scene date, title, site its from, and model names. You can filter down scenes by adding tags, or models to the search as well.

Clicking a scene gives you a page with a streaming player in the center. Below the player is a thumbnail strip you can drag and click on to jump easily to various places in the video. On the edges of the screen are icons for rating the video, commenting, downloading, & viewing the picture set. Info is given below the video showing tags, date, description, etc. It's all very clean and organized. It works very well.

Downloads are fast, DL managers work great, & I've never had a link expire. Logins do expire if you are idle for a while though.

So, any cons? Well, I guess you could argue that some models are used too frequently and I can think of things that could be improved. But most are small, nitpicky things that only stand out to me because everything else is so well done. One thing I will mention though is the poor filenames. When you download a scene it will be named in a format of [sceneID]-1080p.mp4. Now I know it's convenient for their database and web application to use scene ids for filenames but it is not convenient for humans. I'd prefer a format of [modelName1, modelName2]-[sceneID]-1080p.mp4 or at least SOMETHING beyond just a number to explain what the file is.

A 1 month membership thru TBP/PU is 14.95. Once you are a member, you can purchase a 1yr membership for 95.40 = (7.95/month) Given the quality of the site, enormous archive, cost, credits earned for being a member, and frequency of updates I actually think 21Sextury makes a compelling case for a yearly membership.

In case it wasn't obvious I really liked the site. So unless you're someone with no interest in European models or who'd never want to see any hardcore videos...this is really a site you should be looking at.

6300+ scenes
Excellent Interface
Option to request a model for a future scene
Good variety
Frequent updates
High production values
Competitively priced
Great DL speeds w/ no limits.

Cons:

Potential negatives: Most scenes are very by the numbers with corny, sometimes long story setups.
Short login time w/ capcha code.

Bottom Line:

This was my 1st membership w/ Brazzers and while it is not my favorite site it does a lot of things very well and if you like most of the content they produce I think they offer an excellent value.

They have a large # of scenes spanning over 10 years and they constantly add a couple new scenes each day. Scenes are available in:
HD MP4 1080P
HD MP4 720P
SD WMV,SD MP4,MPEG & IPHONE/MOBILE

Download speeds vary but are high.(4-8MB/s). DL managers work and the links last a long time but login times do not. You frequently have to login and enter a capcha code.

The interface is polished and nice to use. Searching is no problem. They also have an option for requesting a model for future scenes which I've not seen done before.

Their video player works well and has tagged bookmarks thru out all the recent videos which must have taken a bit of work to do. Almost all scenes have a trailer and screen caps as well.

There's a large variety of scenes available from fairly hard scenes to girl/girl scenes but overall most of the content is much tamer than Evil Angel and much less gonzo than say Bang Bros...but there are some scenes that do fall into those categories...they are just the minority.

I also believe many of the "PornstarPunishment" videos that I understand had been removed at one time have been put back into the archive however they appear to have received some edits.

Most scenes have a basic story line and have high production values.

Objectively I think the site does what it does really well. I happen to prefer a more gonzo style of video and find much of Brazzers content to be very by the numbers which is why I don't rate it higher, but there's something for almost everyone in their collection and I think they are a very good site.

If you have the bandwidth, time, and inclination to grab all you want inside a month I'd absolutely recommend a one month membership. But at $50 it would be pretty costly passed that.

Also you could join one site for $30 (giving you a # of others as bonuses) that gives you access to most of what you want and maybe do the same to another site 1 month later to spread it out over 2 months for $60.

Anyway it's not the most technically excellent, polished, or economical site around, but the content is of great quality, there's lots of it, and there's no restrictions on you downloading as much of it as you can.

Infernal Restraints is a bondage site that is somewhat like sites you may be familiar with from Kink. Kink's Device Bondage site is probably the closest to it. But Kink's sites are comparatively more "glam". With Infernal Restraints all varnish is removed, it is darker, and significantly more creative.

You can tell a lot of prep work goes into each scene and a lot of custom made devices are used. If you are interested in BDSM type material what's on offer is of high quality and unique.

There are currently over 330 scenes available & include pictures in a single zip file. Older updates are available as a full video or broken up into scenes.

The oldest videos are lo-res 640x480 15fps @ pretty low bit rates. They are available in rm and mp4 formats. The rm format is the better choice and look much better. I suspect the mp4 versions were created from the rm. This accounts for about 30% of the videos. These were shot prior to 2010 so I think can be forgiven for being low-res, though it would be great if they could be remastered.

More recent videos are 720p but with bit rates of only 1900kbps they could look much better. These are usually available as HQ mp4, HQ wmv, and low quality MP4. Generally the wmv has the higher bit rate and is the slightly better looking option though not always. These account for about 44% of the videos.

The most recent videos are 720p MP4s @7500kbps. These look good but not great. We're almost into 2015 now and I think it is a problem to still not be offering 1080p videos. One new scene is added each week.

Download speeds were always excellent and there are no limits.

The site's UI is really bare bones. You can do text searches but that's really it. It functions, but it could be much better.

The site costs $65 a month which is way more expensive than almost anything else out there. If you like this genre and have not been a member before I do think there is enough quality material to justify a join. However for everyone else or for a recurring membership it's not really justifiable. If they gave access to all their sites I think it could be, but not as is.

There is a cheaper option though that is worth doing. The site allows you to join via gift cards of varying amounts. For example you could buy a gift card from Target.com for say $25 or whatever seems reasonable to you and have it delivered via email within a few hours. You can then enter that gift card into the site and it will tell you how many days of membership they'll give you for it. For $25 dollars you may get 2 weeks or something. Your gift card will not be used unless you agree to the offer. It's still not an amazing value but it does give you the option to get access to the material at a lower price point and may well be worth it to check the site out and grab the updates that interest you.

Facial Abuse does indeed focus on the *abuse* of its (mostly) amateur models.

Each scene starts with a short interview of sorts and then the girl will be made to perform the most extreme blowjob possible on 1 or 2 guys. It's not unusual for the girl to vomit, in fact they encourage it. Frequently there is slapping, spitting, & choking. That + the interview usually takes 60% of the video time. (They average about 40min) Occasionally it's too much for the girl (they "Tap out") and the video is cut short with a facial. But most often they then move on to vaginal/anal sex for the rest of the video followed by the facial. So that's the basic format & makes up the "physical abuse" in front of the camera.

The 2nd part of the abuse comes in verbal form from the guy filming the scene. From the moment each scene starts his goal is generally to insult, humiliate, and basically soul crush the girl verbally while the people in front of the camera attempt to do it physically. It's often the verbal abuse that is more upsetting to the girls than anything physical going on. Some girls are fine with it, even returning multiple times, others definitely would not want to go thru it again.

You may find it hard to watch, offensive, or it might be just what you're looking for. But that's basically what it is.

Many of the girls are amateur but you will see porn stars (usually at the end or start of their career). Some of the models are very pretty and others are really...not. It runs the gamut.

The site is dead simple. There are currently 375 scenes. Each page shows a thumbnail of 30 scenes. Clicking a video takes you to a page with an in-browser player and the following download links:
1080p WMV
720p MP4
480p MP4

Below that are the individual images. No zip is available.

The videos definitely have an amateur look, but are very sharp and clear. There's nothing glamorous about the setting or presentation, but the video is technically excellent. The vast majority is 1080p 5000-26000kbps. It mostly looks great. Only the very oldest stuff is of poor quality.

Download managers work, but I did run into a download limit. I couldn't figure out the specifics of it, but I believe after 20-30GB it made you wait 6-8 hours before being able to continue. It's an annoyance, but I was still able to download all I wanted inside a month easily. Download speeds were always good.

Some bonus sites are included but I felt they were not worth much. And don't be fooled into thinking it includes their other "abuse" sites such as Latina Abuse, it does not. If you join it's really just for Facial Abuse.
Personal Exception: There's a girl on "ThePantyhosesite" named Addison I thought was beautiful. Please comment if you know of anything else she's been in.

I consider the updates to be slow. Typically the site adds one scene each week, but they're not religious about it. As I write this its been 12 days without an update.

This site has major room for improvement but I'm unaware of anything else out there quite like it.

With the discount thru TBP/PU 1 month currently costs $19.95. If you've not been a member before, and are interested in their content, I believe it is worth a 1 month membership.

Mediocre video quality
Could use more tags
Watermarks on video
Nothing exclusive

Bottom Line:

VideosZ is a decent "mega DVD site". It is quite similar to VideoBox and much of my review of that site applies here, however there are some differences and overall I preferred VideosZ.

The first thing about VideosZ which I liked was how transparent it is about its content. As a non-member you get to use essentially the same UI that members do to search for content on the site. You can also see what the updates are for the day and what they will be on each day for the next week. In comparison, VideoBox hides all of this and makes its content and UI a mystery to potential members.

The site is fairly well organized and its pretty easy to find what you are looking for by studio, model, or tag. I do think they could use more tags to better help people find videos of particular types but at least its usable, accurate, and looks nice.

Downloading is similar to VideoBox in that it is awesome. Fast speeds, a 24hr login, and no expiring links.

VideosZ and VideoBox have a lot of overlapping content but there's enough differences on each site that you'd likely have a hard time choosing one library over another. Off the top of my head I believe Max Hardcore, White Ghetto, Smash Pictures, & Harmony Films were on VideosZ but not VideoBox. But they each have a bunch of videos the other does not.

VideosZ is missing a couple features VideoBox has such as being able to create custom clips or being able to scrub a video thumbnail to view it and choose a playing position. In contrast VideosZ navigation is overall nicer looking and the movie/model info much more accurate.

The most important things for me in a site are content, video quality, and value in that order. And while VideosZ (and VideoBox) do have good content, and arguably very good value, I feel that the video quality of both sites is significantly below where it should be for a pay site.

VideosZ videos come in 3 formats: avi 480p or less ~2200kbps, mp4 540p ~2800kbps, and HD mp4 720p ~5500kbps. Slightly under 10% of the DVDs are available in HD.

Unfortunately, those video specs are not really telling. For example it's possible to get a 720p video that looks pretty bad or one that looks pretty good and both have the exact same encoding specs. I assume the source videos vary wildly in quality.

I could be wrong, but it seemed like VideosZ had more "HD" content than VideoBox and their 720p videos are a slightly higher bit rate than VideoBox which was a bit below 4000kps. However every VideosZ video has a "www.VideosZ.com" water mark on it. I don't really mind this when the watermark is from the original studio, but I disliked seeing the VideosZ watermark on the video, sometimes leading to 2 watermarks, theirs and the original studio's.

It's also worth noting that VideosZ offers those who have been members for 3+ months access to additional videos from Vivid, Club Jenna, and their Hentai section. I have not tried any of that out though.

VideosZ is currently 17.95 thru PU/TBP compared to 12.00 for VideoBox. If you are not concerned with video quality, then both sites are very good. If video quality is important to you then their value diminishes a lot unless you are looking for an old video you don't expect good quality from.

FTV Girls is a site that focuses on young, thin, and attractive models.

With a couple of minor exceptions all videos are solo scenes that tend to fall into either masturbation or exhibition categories. The videos are of high quality but I found myself getting bored of this site much faster than most, but tastes will vary on this.

I think the reason why I didn't like the site as much as I thought I would was because there doesn't appear that any real direction is given to the models. Basically the "director" doing the filming places the girl somewhere and just lets her do whatever she feels like. Sometimes this works out but other times it ends up being kind of boring.

There is also always a lot of talking going on between the director and model which you may or may not like. There's not a lot of variety to the model or scene type so you need to really like both.

One thing I did find interesting is that occasionally some of the models performed dance routines. I haven't really seen that done before on other sites so I thought that was kind of novel.

The layout of the site is pretty well done. The scenes are pretty well tagged and organized. The shoots are cut up into small clips of maybe 4-11 minutes. Normally I'd dislike this and want a single complete video but for this site I actually really appreciated being able to pick and choose what parts to see and what ones to skip.

Download speeds were always good and DL managers work fine.

If you like the content there's a good amount of it but I feel the one update a week is too infrequent. It seems to be a one man show so perhaps that's simply the volume one person can handle. I do recommend a join but can't say that I'd want to be a recurring member.

I don't regret my membership but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would and got tired of the site very quickly. It is worth noting though that I generally prefer more hardcore sites and I'm sure that did impact my feelings about this site.

I was interested in trying a Mega-site of this type and debated between VideoBox and VideosZ. VideosZ makes it easy to browse what they have. VideoBox makes it hard. I suspect because their UI for browsing is not as slick looking as their home page.

Still as a potential customer it's important to know what they have. For those interested go to http://www.videobox.com/studios and you can see what they have available similar to at VideosZ.

It's fairly easy to browse by studio or model and even perform filtering beyond that. It's not a great UI design but I found it more functional than many sites. Ultimately you are displayed a thumbnail for each scene with click-able Title, Tags, & Names. Scrubbing over the thumbnail lets you view the video as a series of images and clicking on the image takes you to the player page where the video begins playing at that point in the video. Nice!

You can create a custom clip of the video selecting only the portion you want and just download that piece instead of the whole video. Very Nice!

They have the most accommodating download system I've yet used. You stay logged in for 24hrs and their links do not expire. You can load over a hundred downloads into a manager and just let it go. No limits, expirations, nothing. Just DL all you want. And they add 4 DVDs worth of content daily. Mega Awesome!

But let's talk about exactly what you'll be downloading.

Download options are presented best to worse as H.264-DVD, WMV-DVD, WMV-High, IPhone. And...they all look bad.

The "DVD" options may use a DVD as a source but they are certainly below DVD quality. The quality is comparable to a mediocre tube site. In fact VideoBox IS essentially a tube site with a large collection & a mostly accurate database to help you find stuff.

Occasionally their videos offer a 720HD option. I'd say < 5% of them. Quality varies a lot with these. They can look like a soft poor quality DVD, an actual DVD, or like a decent 720HD video that is a bit better than DVD.

It's not uncommon to find inaccurate information on their videos. Most egregious is when the wrong performer names are listed. I also ran into rare instances when a video file was corrupt, audio was just static, or audio was played at reduced speed making it sound like a demonic orgy. This is rare, but not so rare that I didn't run into it.

It's very convenient to be able to go to a single place for everything but it is disheartening when you find a scene you want and you know it should look a LOT better than it does.

I'll liken VideoBox to NetFlix in the following analogy: It's a convenient one-stop shop that allows you to browse thru a large & diverse library to find what you want and try stuff out. And you can certainly watch the video. But if you find something you really like, perhaps "The Hobbit". Are you going to be happy with a low quality version of it, or do you want the 3D Extended Edition Blu-ray.

I fall into the 3D Extended Edition Blu-ray category so while I appreciate a lot of what VideoBox does it is not really for me.

If you're not concerned with video quality and just want inexpensive browsing of material you can add ~10 points to this review score.

Currently the cost thru TBP/PU is a very reasonable $12/month. If you're not concerned about the video quality or you want to find an old video that you don't expect high quality from - absolutely join up. Otherwise though, I think you'll find the site intriguing but ultimately disappointing.

I had been a member of this site recently and I think your review is very accurate. One additional comment I'd add is that all of the high quality videos are in WMV only (no MP4 option) which can be a downside to some.

15

For what it's worth I believe the best value would be to do the 3 month membership and NEVER buy tickets directly. Buying tickets seems to always be a worse value than getting them thru the membership.

That would give you 120 premium + 90 free tickets over the 3 month period. 1-2 new scenes enter the ex-exclusive area each day and can be purchased with the free tickets you accrue as a member. And I believe tickets never expire. So basically what they are doing is encouraging continued membership over joining and downloading everything in bulk though they don't make that super obvious.

16

Thanks for the pricing. I believe 1 free ticket is awarded to a member for each day they are a member. Those free tickets can then be spent on scenes that are 1.5+ years old. You can see just those if you go off the main site's url to "/ex-premium-videos".

17

I looked into the "free" scenes some more and I think I *may* understand it now. The truly free scenes (free w/ membership) are licensed from other studios they are not any of the exclusive LP produced content. The exclusive LP content must be bought with tickets. Once LP content is 1.5 years old it moves to an ex-premium video section. Those videos can then be purchased w/ "free tickets" which you earn each day you are a member. So...as I understand it the real LP content never enters the true free section which is what had confused me. It's a complicated system...but no other site produces the same type of content they do so I guess they can get away with it.

Rearadmiral do you know how much tickets cost to buy when you are a member?

18

Thanks for the review. I've always wanted to try this site. I think their content looks very good but it looks like no videos have been added to the free section since Aug 2014 and that makes me hesitant. I also don't know that any of the "real" legal porno videos ever go free. It seemed to me that the free ones are from a different studio. None look to be in that "white room" they always seem to use. Also really disappointed to hear the videos are not recorded in 1080p. I'm surprised by that.

I appreciate learning more info about the site though. It's weird business model makes info about the site rare to come by.

19

20

I'm a current member and I can't say that I've had the search problems you have. I only get scenes that are from the Networks I have checked, and actually like the fact that I can *optionally* check-in networks I don't have access to just to see the trailers of those scenes in case any interested me. But none show up for me when they are not checked so I don't know why you are having this issue.

Also surprised to see the negativity and gimmick comments. I have no problem w/ the opinion I just don't agree. I can't think of a better site really in overall quality and value. They are a business of course trying to make money as all must, but I haven't seen anything I'd call remotely gimmicky.

Out of curiosity for those who left in "disgust". What sites have you found to be more worth your time/money? I'd be happy to move to something else too if it really was better.

21

22

I agree with you as well. As for the numeric score I can understand why someone would score it much higher. I gave it 80 because I would recommend the site, but my personal experience with it was so-so. But each person's experience is subjective and will be different so that's why it's good there are multiple reviews. If everything was completely fact/stat based there'd be little reason for more than 1 review of anything.

24

I agree with basically everything said in this review. Mike Adriano's site is really top notch.

The video quality is very high ~7000kbps @ 1080p. There is no download limits of any kind. Download speed at least 30mbps and lots of great videos/models to choose from.

While the videos are great, the pictures I thought were pretty bad. There will be like 30 images shot within a few seconds of each other so they're all basically the same with no variety.

Personally I didn't think the cancellation process was bad at all. I especially liked how you get a confirmation email confirming that the cancel actually happened.

Mike Adriano's site is easily the best in that network IMO. A few of the other sites are OK, but overall pale in comparison. They're a fine bonus though.

My only small gripe would be that Adriano focuses almost exclusively on anal related things, which is fine, but when most videos are 40+ minutes long using some of that time in other ways would be nice.
